Poll: Is being silly, making jokes, and otherwise being 'happy' a good thing for this forum in your opinion?
This poll is closed.
It is very good. It attracts new members, retains old ones, and makes this place feel worth coming to.

It's moderately good. It can be a nice breather from the debates, though should be toned down some perhaps.

I have no opinion, see it as neutral, or think it has similar amounts of good and bad.

It's moderately bad. It detracts from debates, takes up space, and is unappealing to newcomers.

Wink I would find it useful on my longer posts or when quoting people who used an emoticon : S it's no fun to have to go through and worry about where my tone will be lost by the removal of an emoticon and change to a text-face : S

No, you overuse them as it is. I'd vote to decrease.

Then maybe we should add an emote along the lines of "Don't take me seriously"? Thinking While we're at it, let's get a sweatdrop emoticon, a scared emoticon, a facepalm emoticon, and some others Smile

I only run into it once in a great while, and normally it's because I quoted someone who also had emoticons (usually not even a vortex). Then I either have to risk the person misinterpreting my tone, or i have to misquote them (allowing their tone to be misinterpreted). :S
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
